P061C-ETC LEVEL 2 RPM PERFORMANCE

For a complete wiring diagram, refer to the Wiring Information.

Theory of Operation

This diagnostic is testing for an internal Powertrain Control Module (PCM) failure. The PCM redundantly calculates engine speed based crankcase speed sensor. This calculation is done in a different part of the PCM than the primary calculation. It detects if the primary engine speed calculation is lower than the redundant calculation by more than a calibrated amount 675 RPM for a calibrated amount of time two sec. The PCM will light the ETC lamp when the diagnostic runs and fails. The light will remain on for the drive cycle or until both calculations agree for two seconds.

- When Monitored:
Engine speed is detected.

- Set Condition:
The primary engine speed calculation differs from the redundant engine speed calculation (internal calculation) by a calibrated amount for a calibrated amount of time.





Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting Procedure.
